No one will help you relive the summers That we shared And count how many times it seemed Like I cared

And as the thunder rolls in And tears fall down like rain Who will be there to know it isn’t pain Just memories

And the definition of Forever & Always Won’t have a meaning Just a curse

And now the girl you’re holding All through this won’t be looked at the same When you kiss her passionately In the rain That’s now me And when she whispers Forever & Always in your ear My voice will echo in your head

And when you try to cover up our memories With new ones It’s impossible Because the best days of your life Were in those nine months

And the rest of your life You’ll be searching for that meaning The meaning I gave you Yet the girl that you even think fulfills that Is not even close She’s just a copy
